game 7 best bet: Celtics

jdub6810 · May 16, 2009

This is a no brainer.

The celtics have several key advantages:

HOME COURT - refs will give them the calls - This is the NBA way. Plus the crowd will energize the Celtics.
COACHING - Stan Van Gundy was exposed in this series. His best player has no confidence in him.
ESPRIT DE CORPS - Celtics have more chemistry among players, & more tenacity. Game 5 put the teams differences on display.
CLOSERS - celtics have several options to shoot the last shot. Magic are lost without Nelson on this.
FOUL SHOOTING - Magic will not keep winning games shooting 50% at the foul line. Not on the road.

I predict this game will be all Celtics from start to finish. It will be a blowout. Magic had their chances to win the series, & now they are in a world of shit. The only way you beat the Celtics in their house is when you have all your cylinders firing. & Magic missing Nelson is not going to cut it for a game 7 on the road. I look for Allen, Pierce & Rondo will put up the points, while Howard gets in foul trouble. Without Howard the Magic will have no second chance points, no rebounds, & no offense at all. The Magic will be down all game, & they will not have the Esprit De Corp needed to fight out the win. They will fold.

Cash the Celtics ML & minus whatever points it ends up. The line is very wrong.

Geez, someone who begs to differ with those that set the line. If that's the case then you're on the wrong side of the table my boy.
I think that avatar of your's might be having an effect on you.

First year in betting huh? Thats cool. We all have to start somewhere. Todays lesson: some games don't finish close to the point spread. Refer to Laker game 6. Best wishes to you.

i can't believe there are people that think the Magic will pull this out. its understandable, given the number of turnovers & the weak offense of the celtics in some spurts. But NBA is all about ENERGY. Look at houston series. There is a talent mismatch, but the Lakers cannot match the energy of the rockets in houston.

This series should not be at game 7 at all. there is a lot to be said for how the players feel about their coach & each other. its clear the celtics are a 10 in chemistry & the magic are a 6-7 right now. That, combined with friendly refs & crowd, will make all the difference in this last game. Magic will be down early & make some runs, because they can, but by Q4 it will be over. Their 3 ball is their money maker, not howard (see game 6 sixers series), & the 3 ball has been shit.

I will stand corrected if we see Orlando put up 50% shooting & 40%+ from downtown. They pulled that shit on the Sixers. The Celtics are not the Sixers.
